ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- Controversial tennis player Nick Kyrgios will be free to participate in an NBA celebrity game in February after being released from his contract with an ATP event in the Netherlands.Richard Krajicek, the 1996 Wimbledon champion and tournament director of the ANB Amro event in Rotterdam, posted a link to a statement on Twitter late Wednesday saying hed agreed to cancel the contract at the request of Kyrgios, the 21-year-old Australian who this week received an eight-week ban from the tennis tour for tanking a match in China.Krajicek said he took the decision so Kyrgios, an avid basketball fan, could attend the annual NBA All-Star weekend and play in a celebrity game on Feb. 19, the same day as the final in Rotterdam.He said Kyrgios manager had made the approach to withdraw several weeks ago and tournament organizers decided Tuesday to terminate the contract.We wanted to hold him to his contract, said Krajicek, but ... You see what can happen when he is tired and has little meaning, as in China.We want a top tennis player seen on the court. If every week he is focused on tennis, he might be mentally burned out after six months. He needs an outlet.The ATP, which runs the mens tennis tour, suspended Kyrgios on Monday and fined him an additional $25,000 for conduct contrary to the integrity of the game following an investigation into his behavior during a second-round loss to German qualifier Mischa Zverev last week at the Shanghai Masters.The No. 12-ranked Kyrgios gave little effort during the 6-3, 6-1 defeat, and had already been fined $16,500 for failing to give a full effort, unsportsmanlike conduct and verbal abuse of a spectator.He was banned until Jan. 15 -- a day before the start of the Australian Open, but the suspension could be reduced to three weeks if Kyrgios agrees to enter a plan of care under the direction of a sports psychologist.Kyrgios issued a statement Monday offering another apology for his conduct in Shanghai, saying he will be back in 2017.Its not the first time that Kyrgios has run into trouble with tennis authorities. Last year, he insulted Stan Wawrinka with crude remarks during a match in Montreal. He received $12,500 in fines, as well as a suspended 28-day ban and a potential further $25,000 fine if he picked up any other major offenses over the following six months. His probation for that ended in February.Kyrgios attracted criticism for his performances at Wimbledon and at the U.S. Open, for deciding not to play at the Olympics because of a spat with an Australian team official, and for firing back at retired players who have offered advice.

DETROIT -- Eric Ebron was on his back, looking as if he feared he was seriously injured.The Detroit Lions tight end pounded the turf with his right fist as the teams medical personnel evaluated his lower right leg.Ebron was later carted off the field, bowing his head and appearing distraught Saturday.He was hurt while blocking on a play on what the team called a mock game, which suddenly became too real for a team already faced with the reality of a passing game without Calvin Johnson for the first time in a decade.After Ebron was injured, the Lions shifted the practice that simulated game situations to the other end of the field.Injuries happen in football, Lions general manager Bob Quinn said.Ebron, drafted by Detroit No. 10 overall in 2014, seemed to be a favorite target of Matthew Stafford earlier in the practice that was open to the public at Ford Field.Stafford acknowledged being concerned about Ebrons injury.I have no idea whats wrong with him, he said.Ebron started 15 games over the first two years of his career, making 72 receptions for 785 yards and six touchdowns.Detroits depth at tight end was thin even before its best player at the position was injured.Brandon Pettigrew has not been cleared to practice while recovering from a torn knee ligament late last year and might not be healthy enough to start the season in five weeks. Tim Wright, another veteran, had a season-ending knee injury earlier this year.The top tight ends left standing might be Cole Wick, an undrafted rookie from the Univversity of the Incarnate Word in Texas, and journeyman Matthew Mulligan, who has 17 career catches since making his NFL debut in 2009.ddddddddddddThe other tight ends on Detroits roster are: Orson Charles, Adam Fuehne and Ben McCord.Mulligan said it was devastating, to see a teammate go down with an injury in practice.All of us are going to have to step up, Mulligan said. Ebron is an incredible player.The Lions may have to use more formations with three or four receivers and one of them will not be Johnson. He left the Lions and the league earlier this year after nine seasons.Detroits top receivers are Golden Tate and a pair of newcomers, Marvin Jones and Anquan Boldin, along with TJ Jones, who was taken out of the mock game after hitting the turf hard on an overthrown pass.I just dove and someone landed on top of me, Jones said. Nothing. Im good. All good to go.Jones refused to say if he went through the concussion protocol.Ill leave that all to the trainers and coach (Jim) Caldwell to talk about the details of everything, but Im feeling great, Jones said.Caldwell spoke to reporters before the mock game, the only time he was scheduled to be available, and declined comment after the practice.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Cheap Authentic Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Camo Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys China NFL Hoodies Cheap Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Camo China NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China ' ' '
